INTRODUCTION
Most people agree to the fact that Allaah's (God’s) Word
cannot be contradictory. What He spoke about Himself
must be true. He made Himself known as The Creator,
The One, The Originator, and The Provider. He is the
First, nothing is before Him; The Last, nothing is after
Him; The Most High, nothing is above Him; The Most
Near, nothing is beyond His reach, and He encompasses
everything while He is above heavens, distinct and
separate from His creatures. Great in His Majesty and
Honor, Most Merciful, Severe in Punishment, All-
Knower, Most Compassionate, All-Wise, and All-Just;
Most Perfect in all of His Names and Attributes. He does
not beget, nor is He begotten. There is no equal to Him,
and there is nothing like unto Him, and thus He alone
deserves to be worshipped. In essence, the religion as
revealed1 to nations before us and to mankind up to the
Day of Resurrection, calls for the worship of none but
God (Allaah). Any Message from the Perfect God is true,
and cannot be contradictory. He entrusted many
Prophets and/or Messengers since creation began on earth.
Starting with Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and
ending with Muhammad, peace be upon them all, the
essence of religion was and still is: people must submit
to their Creator and worship Him as He revealed to
their respective Messengers and/or Prophets. This is
www.cis.org.in
the true Message, and Jesus, peace be upon Him, is one of
those great Prophets and Messengers who was sent to the
Children of Israel, after Moses, confirming the revelation
sent down to Moses and the Gospel that he received from
Allaah. This same Message was confirmed by Prophet
Muhammad, peace be upon him, believing in the true
Gospel that came to Jesus and propagating the final and
most comprehensive revelation to mankind, the Qur'aan.
The Qur'aan, being Allaah's Word, confirms and attests to
the true nature of Jesus, and this is not known by many
people. This book will introduce the reader to the
Qur'aanic texts related to Jesus, peace be upon him,
hoping that the truth regarding the personality of Jesus
becomes clear.

A Miracle...And a Human Was Born
An Honorable Family
The family of Jesus is the Family of 'Imraan. It was a
family chosen by Allaah:
www.cis.org.in
"So her Rabb (Allaah) accepted her with goodly
acceptance. He made her grow in a good manner and
put her under the care of Zachariah. Every time he
entered Al-Mihraab (a praying place or a private room)
to (visit) her, he found her supplied with sustenance.
He said: 'O Mary! From where have you got this?' She
said, 'From Allaah'. Verily, Allaah provides sustenance
to whom He will, without counting." (Qur'aan 3: 37)
www.cis.org.in
not part of Allaah. He, Most Glorified, does not partition
Himself into any thing or any being.
And Allaah does not beget. He, Most Exalted, says in the
Qur'aan (19: 88-95):
www.cis.org.in
"And they say: "The Most Beneficent (Allaah) has
begotten a son (or offspring or children) 4."
4. As the Jews said: Ezra is the "son of Allaah” and the Christians said
that Allaah has "begotten a son (Christ, peace be upon him), and the
pagan Arabs said that He has "begotten daughters (angels, etc.). The
same was said many times in the past, i.e. in the Greek Mythology.
Allaah is high Above what they attribute to Him.
www.cis.org.in
The Conception:
Mary miraculously conceived Jesus, and delivered a boy
under a palm tree:
www.cis.org.in
"He said: 'So (it will be), your Rabb said: 'That is easy
for Me (Allaah); And (We wish) to appoint him as a
sign to mankind and a mercy from Us (Allaah), and it
is a matter (already) decreed , (by Allaah).'” (Qur'aan
19: 21)
"So eat and drink, and if you see any human being,
say: 'Verily! I have vowed a fast unto the Most
Beneficent (Allaah) so I shall not speak to any human
being this day.'" (Qur'aan 19: 26)
www.cis.org.in
"O sister (i.e. the like) of 'Aaron 6! Your father was not
a man who used to commit adultery, nor was your
mother an unchaste woman." (Qur'aan 19: 28)
6. The 'Aaron mentioned here is not the brother of Moses, but he was
a pious man at the time of Mary, peace be upon her.
7. It is very strange to read in the Bible statements attributed to Jesus
in which he was impolite to his mother! In John 2: 4, it reads: "He
said to Mary, "Woman, what have I to do with you". Also in
Matthew 12: 47, we find: "Then one said unto Jesus, "Behold, your
mother and brethren stand without, desiring to talk to you" But he
answered and said, "Who is my mother? And who are my
brethren?" Certainly these cannot be the words of a great Prophet
who has a great moral character. It is an insult against Jesus that
Allaah does not accept.
www.cis.org.in
Allaah then stresses the reality of Jesus for all of those
who have any doubt about him or his Message:
www.cis.org.in
"And He (Allaah) will teach him (Jesus) the Book and
Al-Hikmah9, (and) the Torah and the Gospel." (Qur'aan
3: 48)
www.cis.org.in
And a clear Message:
www.cis.org.in
The Turning of Hearts to the
Message of Jesus
www.cis.org.in
The Qualities of Jesus
He was of human nature, one personality and not three,
and a Messenger of Allaah:
11. Jesus and his mother ate the food and walked the streets. Allaah
does not need anything; He is Self-Sufficient. One would imagine that
people who contemplate would recognize this fact and come to the
natural conclusion that Divinity is for Allaah alone and not a quality
of any created being.
www.cis.org.in
Allaah called Gabriel Roohana (Our Rooh i.e. Our Spirit)
and we know that Gabriel is a created angel, existing, and
has his own created qualities. Similarly Allaah says about
the heavens and the earth that:
www.cis.org.in
from a male and a female (ourselves); from a male without
a female (Eve); from a female without a male (Jesus), and
from neither a male nor a female (Adam):
"And We made her and her son (Jesus) a sign for Al-
'Aalameen (mankind and jinns)." (Qur'aan 21: 91)
www.cis.org.in
Jesus Never Claimed to Be God (Allaah)
www.cis.org.in
"Surely, they have disbelieved who say: 'Allaah is the
Messiah (Jesus), son of Mary'..." (Qur'aan 5: 72)
www.cis.org.in
"Allaah is more pleased with the repentance of His
slave than anyone of you is pleased with finding his
camel which he had lost in a desert."14
www.cis.org.in
The Plot and the Resurrection
Allah saved Jesus from their tongues and hands and took
him to Himself:
www.cis.org.in
you) since you came unto them with clear proofs, and
the disbelievers among them said: "This is nothing but
evident magic." (Qur'aan 5: 110)
www.cis.org.in
The Saving of Jesus from the Crucifixion and
Then His Ascension
www.cis.org.in
The Descent of Jesus
Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, explained the
descent of Jesus before the establishment of the Last
Hour:
www.cis.org.in
will accept it, and a single prostration to Allaah (in
prayer) will be better than the whole world and
whatever is in it."
"If you wish, you can recite (this verse from the
Qur'aan):
Prophets and Messengers and it is the one and only religion accepted
by its Originator, Allaah.
19. Saheeh Al-Bukhaari, V.4, Hadeeth # 657.
20. "Before his death" has two interpretations: a) before the death of
Jesus after his descent from the heavens and after he rules in justice
when Allah will send a pleasant wind which, as Prophet Muhammad
(upon him and Jesus be peace) explained: "would take the life of every
Muslim and only the wicked would survive who would commit
adultery like asses and the Last Hour would come to them"-reported
in Saheeh Muslim, V. 4, Hadeeth # 7015, P. 1518.; or b) a Jew's or a
Christian’s death, at the time of the appearance of the Angel of Death
when he will realize that Jesus was not God, or the son of God!
www.cis.org.in
Why is it that Jesus will Rule by the
Qur'aan And Not the Gospel?

him'. Allaah said: “'Do you agree (to it) and will you
take up My Covenant (which I concluded with you)?'
They said: 'We agree'. He said: 'Then bear witness;
and I am with you among the witnesses (for this)'."
(Qur'aan 3: 81)
21. The Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, said: "I have five
names: I am Muhammad and Ahmed: I am Al-Maahi through whom
Allaah will eliminate Al-Kufr (infidelity): I am Al-Hashir who will be
the first to be resurrected, the people being resurrected thereafter;
and I am also Al-'Aaqib (i.e. there will be no Prophet after him).”-
Reported in Saheeh al-Bukhaari, V. 4, Hadeeth # 732. Ahmed literally
means: "One who praises Allaah more than others." Also it means, the
“the praised one.” Prophet Muhammad is foretold in Deut 18: 18, and
in the Gospel of St. John (14/16, 25, 26, 27), as the “Prophet to
come”, and the “future Comforter,” respectively. Christians
understand that the “Comforter” is the Holy Spirit. However, the Holy
Spirit is Gabriel, who was supporting and guiding Jesus throughout
his mission. The “Comforter” is a translation from the Greek for the
word “Paracletos,” which is a corrupt reading for “Periclytos,” almost
a translation of the meaning of “Muhammad” or “Ahmed.”
www.cis.org.in
clear proofs, they said: This is plain magic." (Qur'aan
61: 6).
22. While Allaah's Messenger, peace be upon him, was reciting this
verse, 'Adee bin Haatim (one of the Prophet's companions) said: "O
Allaah's Messenger! They (Jews and Christians) do not worship them
(i.e. the rabbis and monks)." Allaah's Messenger, praise and blessings
of Allaah be upon him, said: "They certainly do. They (i.e. the rabbis
and monks) made lawful things as unlawful, and unlawful things as
lawful, and they (i.e. Jews and Christians) followed them (i.e. knowing
that the lawful was unlawful and vice versa); and by doing so, they
really worshipped them."-Narrated by several authorities of Hadeeth
including Imaam Ahmad, At-Tirmidhee, and Ibn Jareer.
www.cis.org.in
but Allaah, and that we associate no partners with
Him, and that none of us shall take others as lords
besides Allaah." (Qur'aan 3: 64)
www.cis.org.in
What Is Next?
www.cis.org.in
"And whosoever obeys Allaah and His Messenger
(Muhammad-peace be upon him) will be admitted to
Gardens under which rivers flow (in Paradise), to abide
therein, and that will be the great success." (Qur'aan 4:
13)
23. Abu Hurayrah, may Allaah be pleased with him, narrated that
Allaah's Messenger said, "The first group (of people) who will enter
Paradise will be (glittering) like the moon on a full-moon night. They
will not spit, or blow their noses or relieve nature. Their utensils
therein will be of gold, and their combs of gold and silver; in their
censers (a vessel in which incense is burned) the aloes wood will be
used, and their sweat will smell like musk. Everyone of them will have
two wives; the marrow of the bones of the wives' legs will be seen
through the flesh, out of excessive beauty. They (the people of
Paradise) will neither have difference, nor enmity (hostility) amongst
themselves: their hearts will be as if one heart, and they will be
glorifying Allaah in the morning and in the afternoon." (Saheeh al-
Bukhaari, V.4, Hadeeth # 468)

is near the Kingdom of Allaah. Therefore whoever
associates partners with Allaah or believes in the Trinity

Finality of the Proofs on the Fabrication
of the Story of the Cross
www.cis.org.in
why did he ask to turn away that cup from him (i.e.
death)? Why did he cry out while on the Cross (as they
assume): “O Lord, why hast thou forsaken me?” How
could he have remained silent when the truth was being
challenged? He was known for his soul-inspiring sermons
challenging the learned Jewish Rabbis. No sane person
can believe in this. If the story of the Cross-is disproved
then the very foundation on which Christianity is based,
will be demolished.
www.cis.org.in
1) Did those who captured Jesus (according to their
assumption) know him in person? Or did they not know
him?
www.cis.org.in
7) Was Jesus contented with their condition?
“And they that had laid hold on Jesus, led him away to
Caliphas the high priest, where the elders were
assembled.”
www.cis.org.in
There they passed the sentence of death on him. The
ruffians then took him away, spat on his face and struck
him with their hands after which they stripped him of his
clothes and clad him in scarlet robes, then placed a crown
of thorns on his head and took him about, teasing and
mocking him. They said to him: ‘You are the king of
Israel according to your claim.’ They severely degraded
him.
Mathew says: He did not believe them but asked that man:
“Is it true what they have said?” He remained silent.
The question was repeated and he continued to remain
silent. He remained silent in view of the truth; it was
essential for him even if he was not a Prophet to clarify
the truth and deny the false accusation f the Jews. The
governor’s wife went to the governor and she said to him:
“Have thou nothing to do with that just man? For I
have suffered many things this day in dream because
of him.”
www.cis.org.in
governor’s intentions for asking him were to stand for the
truth.
